10 Year Transformation of Indian Healthcare:

 

With the start of the decade back in 2010, we had not hoped for such a strong and firm leap till 2020. Yet, here it is, the walk down the decade achievements.

 

1) Long queues are now gone

 

 

You do not see any long queues outside the doctor’s clinic. The digital world in 2010, brought in the facility of clearing the queues outside the healthcare clinics. Providing relief from standing under the sun and on a harsh winter morning. A major Transformation of Indian Healthcare.

 

2) New and better hospitals and transformation of Indian healthcare

 

 

There was an influx of new and better facility hospital in 2011. Private players like Max and Fortis opened many of their branches. Along with this government hospitals also saw a new increase in number. This brought India on par with the international facilities.

 

3) The good news

 

 

 

The better part of healthcare came in 2012. With Polio almost eradicated, the nation achieved a big win with complete end to the disease. Something that each Indian was really proud of. Thanks to Mr. Bachchan and the campaign of “Do Boond Zindagi Ke Liye”.

 

4) Transformation of Indian healthcare with rural areas in reach

 

 

Gandhi once said, “Future of India, lies in its villages”. Standing up to his ideals transformation of Indian Healthcare in 2013 took shape in that particular direction. Rural India was now linked with all the healthcare facilities like the urban sector.

 

5) Zip Zap Zoo, comes the Ambulance

 

 

Roads, Hospitals and ambulance are all connected to each other. This network must operate well. In 2014, the transformation of Indian Healthcare also took the route of ambulance service in remote areas. This indeed makes healthcare available to all.

6) Awareness and Access

 

 

The Internet revolutionized healthcare and added to the Transformation of Indian Healthcare. With free internet facilities on mobile phones, people were able to access information. They became aware of issues like AIDS and Tuberculosis. By the end of 2015, we had medium to spread words on medical issues.

 

7) New labs for the chronic condition

 

 

The diagnosis was a step before the treatment. When the diagnosis was not provided how could one get treated? This is indeed something that changed in 2016. New labs came up to diagnose chronic conditions. Diagnosis of medical illnesses like Cancer and Diabetes now became easy.

 

8) AYUSHMANN BHARAT

 

Government is Working on Setting Up 'AYUSH Grid' Countrywide

With the start of 2017, we saw the AYUSHMAN BHARAT come at a good pace. It was implemented, with provision to provide medical cover to the ones who needed it. A great plan by the government in the Transformation of Indian Healthcare.

 

9) Doorstep delivery

 

 

When in the start there was no queue outside the clinic, almost near to end we also eliminated the line outside the medical store. Platforms like GoMedii brought a revolution with door strep delivery of medicines in the Transformation of Indian Healthcare.

 

10) Portable health device

 

Number of Diabetes Patients Among Poor Rising, Awareness is a Casualty

Gone are the days when only clinics would have huge machines. With new technology, 2019 saw portable healthcare devices like diabetes checker and other important devices such as pregnancy test.
